Waiting on fall colors. Taking a little time out enjoying pumpkin flavored coffee.

Old Radio Flyer wagon filled with pumpkins and gourds.

Easy table centerpiece for fall. A bowl full of gourds.

You Hide to Protect Yourself

“I was free with every road as my home. No limitations and no commitments. But then summer passed and winter came and I fell short for safety. I fell for its spell, slowly humming me to sleep, because I was tired and small, too weak to take or handle those opinions and views, attacking me from every angle.

Against my art, against my self, against my very way of living. I collected my thoughts, my few possessions and built isolated walls around my values and character. I protected my own definition of beauty and success like a treasure at the bottom of the sea, for no one saw what I saw, or felt the same as I did, and so I wanted to keep to myself. "
